Quran Gate

The gate of the Koran is one of the gates of the ancient period in Shiraz, which today is considered one of the historical monuments of this city.

In the past, Shiraz has 6 goals. Now in Shiraz, there is no gate except the gate of the Quran, but the people of Shiraz still point to the gates of the past, which are: 'The gate of the Qur'an, the gate of Isfahan, the gate of Sa'di, the gate of the butcher, the gate of Kazeroon, the gate of the king of Dai' Elylah ' Tangollah Akbar's door is enclosed with gates, which are known as the Quran's gateway. This gate was made by the command of Azd al-Dawlah Dailami. The sign of this is for the Quran, which was ordered by the Amir to allow passengers to safely pass through it. This vault, over time, went into ruin, until it was made at the time of Karim Khan Zand, and the Qur'an, known as "Seventeen Men", attributed to the line of Sultan Ibrahim, the grandson of Shahrokh Timurid, was placed in the upper chamber. The Qur'an is currently in the Pars Shiraz Museum. This gate was destroyed by dynamite in the Shiraz municipality in the year 1315. Once again, the gate was rebuilt with a panel of famous Shiraz merchants, Hussein Ajar, in 1328. In the chambers of the building, Eger and his wife are buried. This building has been registered on the 19th / 9th / 1375/1800 in the national monuments list. The gate of the Koran is located in the northeastern part of Shiraz, in Tangollah Akbar, between the mountains of forty officials and Mount Babakouhi, and is located at the exit of Shiraz to the city of Marvdasht. This monument is located next to the Tavosya Shiraz Square.

Abu Musa Ash'ari and Osman ibn Abi'l-al-A'as captured Shiraz late in the caliphate of Omar. Waleed ibn Abdul Malik, the Umayyad Caliph, rebuilt the city, and Smsam al-Dawlah or Sultan built a barrage with twelve gates across the city of Shiraz. Amithimur Gurkan (771 AD) arrived in Shiraz and visited Hafiz, a great poet, and killed Shah Mansour al-Muqafar. The Afghans captured Shiraz in 1103 Shi'a, and Karim Khan laid his capital there, dragged around and laid down its streets, and built a beautiful, well-designed market called the attorney's market, as well as a lawyer's mosque and lawyer's bath.

The Quran on the top of the gate
On the top of the gate, two versions of the Qur'an were handwritten to the great third line attributed to Ibrahim Sultan, the grandson of Shahrokh Teimuri. In 1316 AH, two linear verses of the Qur'an were transferred to the Pars Museum, which are still kept in this museum.
